Abstract
The effect of low-intensity (10–12 mW/cm2) amplitude-modulated electromagnetic radiation (EMR) with a wavelength of 8.1 mm on restoration of motor activity of hindlimb after the sciatic nerve had been crushed was studied in rats (only the injured area was radiated). The recovery was found to be significantly accelerated by EMR: after a seven-week-long treatment by EMR, the mean amplitude of the extensor force developed by the hindlimb of the EMR-treated animals reached 62.3% of its initial value (recorded before the nerve had been crushed), while in the control group of animals it was equal to near 40%.
